Scout, Rosie, Peter and Princess Liana
ROSIE: “Scout! Scout!”
SCOUT: “What is it, Rosie?”
ROSIE: “There is faerie dust in the air, Scout! You know what that means, don’t you?”
SCOUT: “Someone from Mummy Marian’s is coming through the magic portal! Quick, let’s go see who it is! Hopefully it is mijn beste vriend and your prins Peter!”
ROSIE: “Oh I do hope so, Scout! Let’s run!”
SCOUT and ROSIE: *Run to the magic portal hidden in Daddy Jesse’s garden.*
PETER: “Oh! Mijn allerliefste Prinses Rosie! My heart goes flippity-flop when I see you! It’s so good to see you!” *Gives Rosie a soft, snuffly kiss.*
ROSIE: “Oh mijn prins Peter! You make my heart go flippity flop too! You are so handsome!” *Gives Peter a soft, snuffly kiss.*
SCOUT: “Hullo mijn allerbeste vriend Peter!”
PETER: “Oh! It is equally as good to see you too, mijn allerbeste vriend Scout!” *Gives Scout a snuffly kiss.* “You and Rosie both look so lovely!”
ROSIE: “Oh we are still wearing our King’s Day orange crowns that Daddy made for us, and I am wearing an orange tutu!” *Spins around.* “Don’t you think I look pretty mijn prins?”
PETER: “Mijn allerliefste Prinses Rosie! You look wonderful!”
SCOUT: “I’m soooo excited you are here!” *Trembles.* “Shall we play hide-and-seek, or would you prefer to have some tea and treats first?”
PETER: “Well, I think we need to have tea first, because I haven’t come alone. I have brought somebear who wishes to see mijn allerliefste Prinses Rosie! Someone who hasn’t been here before.”
ROSIE: “Somebear who wishes to see me, mijn prins?”
SCOUT: “Who hasn’t been here before, mijn beste vriend?”
PETER: “That’s right!”
ROSIE and SCOUT: “Who?”
*Leaves rustle and quiver as the air fills with faerie dust.*
LIANA: “Hullo Rosie!” *Steps out from amongst the leaves out of the magic portal.*
ROSIE: *Rubs eyes with paws.* “Liana! Princess Liana! Is that you?”
LIANA: “Yes! Yes it’s me, dear Rosie! I’ve come to visit you!”
ROSIE and LIANA: *Hug one another.*
SCOUT: *Whispering.* “Pst! Peter mijn beste vriend. Who is this beautiful bear in the pretty pink dress?”
SCOUT: *Whispers back.* “She says she is Princess Liana. She says she comes from a land far away.”
SCOUT: “Oooohhh!”
ROSIE: “Liana, allow me to introduce my cousin, Scout. Scout, this is Princess Liana!”
SCOUT: “How do you do, Princess Liana!”
LIANA: “How do you do. Are you a princess too, Scout? I see you and my friend Rosie are wearing crowns and pretty gowns.”
SCOUT: “Oh no, Princess Liana! I am a little boy bear. I just like wearing tutus and dresses, and our Daddy made us these paper crowns for King’s Day so we could celebrate with mijn beste vriend Peter, who is also Rosie’s prins, whom you have obviously already met.”
LIANA: “Yes, Peter has been very helpful! I was looking for Rosie, and Fairy Mum said I had to go through the portal in Mummy Marian’s garden, but I couldn’t find the portal, and then whilst I was looking for it, I met Peter!”
PETER: “That’s right! I said that I am Prince Peter and that Rosie is my Princess and...and...she\'s the sweetest princess I\'ve ever seen, because you are, mijn allerliefste Prinses Rosie! And...and...I said I know where the magic portal is!”
LIANA: “And I was scared to use it, so dear Peter offered to hold my paw and bring me here, so I could see you, Rosie!”
ROSIE: “And here we are!”
SCOUT: “Welcome Princess Liana!”
LIANA: “Since you are Rosie’s cousin, you may just call me, Liana, Scout.”
SCOUT: “Oh thank you, Liana.”
ROSIE: “So, would you like to play hide-and-seek, or would you like some tea, dear Liana?”
LIANA: “Well, I’ve actually come because I want to ask you a very important question, Rosie.”
ROSIE: “Well, in that case, we should have some tea first, dear Liana. Important questions are always best asked over tea. We have some left-over Easter Eggs too which we can enjoy!”
PETER: “Oh that sounds fantastic! I have a very grumbly tummy, mijn allerliefste Prinses Rosie!”
LIANA: “I have been travelling so long from a land far away, that I have a grumbly tummy too!”
ROSIE: “Then come along, both of you. We will get Daddy to make us some lovey tea, won’t we Scout?”
SCOUT: “Oh yes we will, Rosie! Come along mijn beste vriend and Liana!”
Well here is something new we didn\'t know about Rosie! She is friends with a real princess, from a land far away! You can see Liana searching for the magic portal in Mummy Marian\'s garden when she came across Peter here: or in the first comment below. Liana is a limited edition Steiff "The Princess and the Frog" bear, inspired by the classic faerie tale by the Brothers Grimm. She is made of wool plush, resplendent in a glittering tulle skirt and wearing just a hint of make-up.
She was a gift to Mummy Marian from her daughter!
My bears Paddy and Scout have made very good friends with two bears in Holland called Peter and Oleg (www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/galleries/721577154558... and www.flickr.com/photos/40262251@N03/galleries/721577233464...) and their MummyMarian Kloon (on and off). Peter and Scout are very similar and have become best friends. Peter loves Rosie and Rosie loves Peter, so they have become prince and princess to one another.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Rosie is Scout\'s cousin, because like Scout, she is a free trade knitted bear from Africa. She was made in Kenya by one of the Kenana Knitters, Martha Wanjira. She is made from home spun and dyed wool. She was a gift to me from two very dear friends, including the one who gave Scout to Paddy.
Thank you to Marian Kloon (on and off) for the use of her photos of Peter and Liana in my photo montage.
